Home Student Life

Student Life at Emek Davar combines serious Torah learning with warmth, friendship, and authentic experiences across Eretz Yisrael.

Our Shabbatons and tiyulim bring Torah learning to life — connecting the lessons of the Beis Midrash with the people, places, and history of Eretz Yisrael.

Why Emek Davar?

Campus & Facilities

Located in Ramat Beit Shemesh Daled, the Emek Davar campus offers comfortable dorms, inviting batei midrash, outdoor areas for sports and recreation, and access to local amenities. Designed for focus and warmth, it provides everything a talmid needs to grow and feel at home.

Shabbatons & Experiences

Twice a month, we host inspiring Shabbatonim in Israel immersive Shabbat experiences in Yerushalayim, Tzfas, Chevron, and other spiritual centers. These Shabbatonim allow students to bond, rejuvenate, and experience Shabbat in some of the holiest places, enriching their spiritual growth.

Torah in the Field:
Immersive Experiences

Our curriculum often moves outside the classroom. Whether it’s a Gemara shiur beginning in the beis medrash and concluding on a hike to Tel Azeka or engaging discussions during an overnight in the Negev, we believe in learning Torah in the field making every moment a chance to connect Torah to life.
